Notes

I always use the stem of broccoli in the soup as well because it contains a lot of fiber.
Do not throw away the water after boiling broccoli. Use it in the soup for added health benefits.
I have used butter to make the dish but you can use regular cooking oil, olive oil, or desi ghee (clarified butter) if you want instead of butter.
If you do not have cream at home, you can add homemade malai to the soup.
If there are kids at home, add black pepper powder while serving the soup to others.
